This earl grey burnt basque cheesecake comes with pearls
Milk tea as a cake? This local bakery's burnt basque cheesecake with pearls also comes in matcha and plain flavors!

In a sophisticated effort to combine milk tea with the famous burnt basque cheesecake, El Quezo MNL’s take on the San Sebastian-inspired dessert combines the the distinct flavor of earl grey tea with the sweetness of extra tapioca pearls on the side.

This local bakery’s Earl Grey Burnt Basque Cheesecake is made for sweet tooths and avid fans of the popular black tea – the slightly tangy cheesecake smells like and is baked with real earl grey extract (you can even see tiny black specks in the cake).

All it takes is one hefty bite and the strong, floral taste of the bergamot-based tea is bound to hit your palate in a few seconds – along with the cake’s creamy-fluffy texture.

Some might like to offset the intense tea flavor with some syrupy sweetness (just like milk tea) with freshly-made tapioca pearls, which El Quezo also provides for just P30. The brown sugar-based pearls do add a welcome, chewy, sweet bite alongside the airy, fragrant cake.
